Chapter 173 The Scent of Fragrance Cult
The size of Jiashan City is three times larger than Mengshan City, and is almost the same as Daofu City in Luofeng County.
After Han Yi re-entered the city, he stopped the Qi Practitioner who was passing by, asked for his address, and then went straight to Lijiafang City.
Moreover, at this moment, his aura was not in the foundation building stage, but had dropped to around the sixth level of Qi training.
Breath-holding technique.
Lijiafang City is located in the northern part of Jiashan City. It is not big, that is, it occupies about two blocks. Outside the city, there are monks from the Li family on duty. Han Yi paid the entrance fee of two taels of spiritual sand and received a casual cultivator sign. , step into Fangshi.
As soon as he entered Fang City, Han Yi went straight to the center of Fang City, where the Li family's largest trading house in Fang City, Li's Trading Company, was located.
The reputation of Li's Trading Company is quite high. When Han Yi stepped into it, he noticed a spiritual consciousness sweeping over him. The divine consciousness came from the second floor of Li's Trading Company. He should be a monk in the early stage of foundation building. With such strength, Han Yi is naturally more interested, which shows that the strength of the Li family is indeed not bad.
Han Yi did not look at the second floor deliberately, but walked around the store as if nothing had happened. There were many things he bought in the store, including magical weapons, elixirs, formations, and talismans.
"Dear guest, whatever you want to buy, Li's Trading Company has everything and can definitely meet your requirements."
An old man in his late teens watched Han Yi wander around for a while, without stopping too much on something. He observed Han Yi for a moment, then came over and asked.
Han Yi looked at the sparkling shopkeeper. The shopkeeper's eyes reminded Han Yi of He Fangwei. However, He Fangwei was at the ninth level of Qi training, while the shopkeeper of Li's Trading Company was only at the seventh level of Qi training.
"What do you call the shopkeeper?" Han Yi asked.
"I'm from the Li family. Fellow Taoist, please call me Li Wenheng." The ancient man pinched his beard and responded with a smile.
Han Yi nodded and asked straight to the point: "I heard that Li's Trading Company does business all over Jiashan City. Is there any business in Jiashan City that the Li family can't do?"
When Li Wenheng heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, but he did not admit it: "Fellow Taoist is joking. In Jiashan City, of course Daqian has the final say. My Li family is just asking for business."
"However, in Jiashan City, apart from Daqian, my Li family still has some abilities. Fellow Taoist, why don't you tell me what kind of business you want to do?"
Han Yi nodded and went straight to the point this time: "Looking for someone."
"Looking for someone?" Li Wenheng said with a smile, "Do you have information such as name, clothing, magic weapon, and height?"
Han Yi nodded: "I'm not sure about the clothes. As for the magical weapon... I'm not sure either. He's about 1.83 meters tall and his name is Zheng Hai."
"It has a name and height. I will draw a portrait later. If it is in Jiashan City, it will not be difficult to find him."
"By the way, but a monk from the sect?"
Han Yi nodded: "My good friend is a member of the Xuandan Sect."
Li Wenheng's eyes were normal. He took out a piece of paper from the cabinet and wrote down the information provided by Han Yi one by one.
but.
Han Yi, who was standing in front of him, frowned.
There was nothing wrong with Li Wenheng's expression and movements just now, but Han Yi's consciousness happened to fall on him. When he said the three words "Xuan Dan Sect", his heartbeat was faster than at other times. Got that bit.
Among the qi-training monks, even the legendary qi-training monks could not detect this abnormality, but they could not escape Han Yi's spiritual consciousness in the middle stage of foundation building.
"Xuan Dan Sect? But what's wrong?" Han Yi asked.
Li Wenheng raised his head: "You don't know, fellow Taoist, that the Xuan Dan Sect was promoted to the Yuanying Sect more than two years ago. Disciples of this sect must be unusual."
Han Yi was stunned, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
When Li Wenheng was explaining just now, his right little finger curled up unconsciously, and although his expression and tone seemed to be in awe of Xuan Dan Sect, the Nascent Soul Sect, in fact, his heartbeat was beating , getting to the front line faster than before.
nervous.
This kind of emotion, appearing at this moment, is not normal.
Han Yi remained calm and continued to ask: "Shopkeeper Li, if you are looking for someone like this, how many days will it take to get a reply? How much will it cost?"
Li Wenheng calculated it and quoted a high price.
"Two hundred low-grade spiritual stones, a deposit of one hundred. If you find it, you will pay another hundred. If you don't find it, you will get fifty back."
"After all, it is a search for a person, which requires a lot of effort. Fellow Taoist, please rest assured that the money is definitely worth it."
"Of course, the search this time is limited to Jiashan City. If Taoist friend's friend is no longer within Jiashan City, then it will not be under the control of Li's Trading Company."
"Fellow Taoist, do you think this price is suitable?"
Han Yi nodded. This little money was nothing to him now.
"Reasonable."
Han Yi took out a hundred spiritual stones from the Qiankun Ring and handed them to Li Wenheng.
Li Wenheng saw Han Yi's Qiankun Ring clearly, his eyes flashed, and he put away the spirit stone handed over by Han Yi.
"Okay, fellow Taoist, you describe the appearance of the person you are looking for, and I will draw it."
The old man took out a blank portrait, and Han Yi recalled the last time he saw Zheng Hai. He described it truthfully. After burning a stick of incense, a lifelike portrait was placed in front of Han Yi.
A young man who has nothing to do with Junxiu and looks relatively rough appears on the page.
The most distinctive feature of the young man is that his face is dark, very dark, and on top of his dark face, there are white and shiny teeth.
The black face and white teeth are quite obvious.
This is also Zheng Hai's biggest characteristic.
"Okay, fellow Taoist, this friend's appearance is quite prominent. If he is really in Jiashan City, it shouldn't be difficult to find him."
"Seven days."
"Seven days later, when fellow Taoist comes again, we will know the result."
Han Yi nodded in agreement, and then, without hesitation, walked out and directly found a quiet room for Qi training monks to practice in Lijiafang City. He paid the spirit stones and rented a small single room of eight square meters.
This kind of quiet room is equipped with a small spiritual gathering array, coupled with the regular investment of spiritual stones, the spiritual energy is as rich as the first or second level of spiritual veins. It is a favorite retreat place for many low-level casual cultivators.
And on the other side, after he left.
In Li's Trading Company, Li Wenheng took Zheng Hai's portrait and hurriedly walked up to the second floor.
On the second floor.
There was a monk who was sitting cross-legged on a futon. In front of him, there was an incense burner. The smoke from the incense burner floated out in wisps and was absorbed into his body.
This monk looks to be less than forty years old. Judging from his appearance, he is much younger than the shopkeeper.
However, appearance in the world of cultivating immortals does not represent age, let alone strength.
"Third Elder." Li Wenheng shouted in a low voice.
The monk who was sitting cross-legged opened his eyes and looked at him: "What's the matter?"
Li Wenheng handed the newly drawn portrait to the monk who was sitting cross-legged.
"Third Elder, someone is looking for this Xuan Dan Sect monk. What should we do?" Li Wenheng's face was a little anxious.
The monk who was sitting cross-legged shouted softly: "What's the rush?"
Then, he took the portrait in front of his eyes, raised his eyes slightly, and looked at the name on the lower right side of the portrait.
"Zheng Hai?"
"Yes or no, we can't decide yet. Can you let the other party notice the abnormality?"
Li Yuanqing, one of the three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators of the Li family and the youngest Foundation Establishment monk, raised his eyes slightly and looked at Li Wenheng, who was standing in front and bowed, and asked with a frown on his face.
Li Wenheng's face changed: "No, no, I have been the shopkeeper for so long, and the level of control over my expression, expression, and tone is impossible for even the ninth level of Qi training to notice. I see the other person, but it is impossible for him to be at the sixth level of Qi training." Detect anomalies.”
The third elder looked away and nodded: "When that person first entered the trading house, I followed my usual practice and scanned him with my spiritual consciousness. He was indeed at the sixth level of Qi training."
"It's just a small sixth level of Qi training. After seven days, just tell him that we haven't found anyone."
"Go ahead."
"By the way, you should still do what you should do on the surface, so that nothing is missed."
The third elder threw Zheng Hai's portrait to Li Wenheng and closed his eyes.
"Third Elder, Xuan Dan Sect is now the Yuanying Sect. If we do this, will there be a big disaster?"
"If Zheng Hai is still alive, why not let him go?"
Li Wenheng hesitated for a moment, then raised his concerns.
Li Yuanqing suddenly raised his head and shot a horrified look at Li Wenheng, which made Li Wenheng's body feel cold and sweaty.
"You shouldn't have said what you said. Shut your mouth, otherwise you will be killed."
Li Wenheng bent down lower and trembled all over: "Yes, what the third elder said is true. I will never dare to mention it again in the future."
"Go." The third elder warned, closed his eyes again, and waved his sleeves to let the old shopkeeper go down.
Li Wenheng slowly backed away, and after returning to the first floor, he touched the cold sweat on his forehead and felt lingering fear.
On the second floor, the third elder of the Li family, Li Yuanqing, opened his eyes and showed a helpless expression.
"It's not so easy to let people go on the Wenxiang Sect's ship. The people are almost dead. How can we let them go? It will trigger a large-scale investigation and it will be a disaster."
"But they actually came after us, so we could only deal with them quickly."
However, he thought of something again, and the helplessness on his face instantly turned into a fierce expression.
"However, the person who came here is only at the sixth level of Qi training. Not to mention that we can't find him out. Even if he is found out, he can be killed and his body destroyed."
Li Yuanqing closed his eyes and started practicing again.
One kilometer away, Han Yi, who was sitting cross-legged in the inn, suddenly opened his eyes, with a trace of blood flashing in his eyes.
"There is indeed a problem."
Han Yi took a deep breath.
Just now, he had been staring at the shopkeeper Li Wenheng with his spiritual consciousness. After he left, Li Wenheng hurriedly walked up to the second floor and came down again after a while, with a hint of fear on his expression.
Because there were foundation-building monks on the second floor, Han Yi was worried about alerting others, so he did not probe into the second floor with his spiritual consciousness, and did not hear the conversation between Li Wenheng and the foundation-building monks on the second floor.
However, he had already guessed it from Li Wenheng's expression.
Even if these people don't know Zheng Hai, they are still doing something harmful to Xuan Dan Sect.
This is the reason why Han Yi's eyes flashed with blood.
Coupled with the fact that his secret skill of Yi Yao can be traced back to Jiashan City, Zheng Hai's whereabouts seems to be related to the Li family.
With the goal in hand, Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
However, judging from the current performance of the shopkeeper, Zheng Hai's situation is probably not good, but it doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't die, he can be saved.
Dusk hour.
The shopkeeper of Li's Trading Company, Li Wenheng, closed the business, activated the formation, and then walked out of the shop and walked outside Fangshi.
The place where he lives is the Li family compound.
However, when he was approaching the Li family's courtyard, suddenly, a figure appeared beside him and knocked him unconscious with a gentle tap.
The moment he fell, a figure passed by, grabbed him, and took him into a courtyard near Li's house.
This figure is naturally Han Yi.
Han Yi had thought of several more obscure methods, but later he overturned them all and just took action and knocked him out.
At his level, there was no need to spend so much effort on plotting against a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi training. He could solve the problem simply and violently.
The courtyard he brought Li Wenheng into was also inhabited by a cultivator, but this cultivator was just a casual cultivator, and his realm was only the sixth level of Qi training. Before Han Yi caught Li Wenheng into the courtyard, this casual cultivator had been knocked out by Han Yi.
In the courtyard.
Han Yi set up a soul-locking formation and set the formation within a range of ten meters to ensure that the sound inside the formation would not be known to the outside world.
Then, he woke up Li Wenheng. At the same time, he stopped using the breath-holding technique, and a breath of a foundation-building cultivator pressed towards Li Wenheng.
As soon as Li Wenheng woke up, he suddenly shot up, his movements were agile, and he didn't look like he was in his seventies at all.
However, Han Yi's foundation-building pressure was too strong and too direct, pressing directly on him, causing his face to change drastically.
In the Li family, only the eldest elder of the Li family could surpass this foundation-building pressure, equal to the second elder of the Li family, and stronger than the third elder.
"Middle stage of foundation-building."
Li Wenheng's face changed drastically, and he dared not look directly at it, and quickly knelt down: "Senior, please spare my life."
"I am a member of the Li family, did you misunderstand me?"
Li Wenheng was terrified, but the next moment, the voice that sounded across from him made his face change again.
"Raise your head and look at who I am, and you will know if there is a misunderstanding?" Han Yi spoke, and his voice did not change.
"It's you!"
Li Wenheng's face changed, but he quickly turned to flattery: "Senior, I have asked someone to do what you asked me to do. Someone will go to find your friend tomorrow. What do you need me to do for you?"
Li Wenheng's face was flattering, but his heart was trembling wildly. Under his sleeve, there was a talisman in his hand. This talisman was not a battle talisman, but a sub-talisman in a set of sub-mother talismans.
Once the sub-talisman in his hand was damaged, the mother talisman would issue a warning to let the Li family know his predicament.
Whoosh.
A blue-black sword energy flashed by, and Li Wenheng's arm flew up to his shoulder, and the talisman in his hand also fell to the side.
"Ah..."
Li Wenheng screamed, but it stopped abruptly as soon as it started, so short that it didn't seem like a scream, because a long sword had already reached his forehead, penetrating a little deeper, blood seeped out from his forehead and flowed down his cheek, but he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it off.
His eyes widened and his whole body trembled, half in pain and half in fear.
"If you move again, I'll kill you."
Han Yi said calmly. Moreover, he had killed too many people over the years. When he said this, the murderous aura crushed through him. Li Wenheng felt that he was in a sticky sea of blood, and even his vision was a little blurred.
This feeling only flashed by, the sea of blood was gone, and his vision was restored, but the sword against his forehead was real.
"I ask, you tell me."
"Do you know Zheng Hai?"
"No." Li Wenheng swallowed and said truthfully.
"In the shop, I mentioned Xuandan Sect, why are you nervous?"
Li Wenheng hesitated for a moment.
Puff.
A flash of blood, another arm, soared into the sky, blood spurted out like a pillar.
He screamed and wailed, but after three breaths, the Qingping Sword was against his forehead again, pressing him to the ground, trembling all over, but not daring to move.
Han Yi stepped forward and looked down at him.
"Whether you tell me or not, you will die."
"Tell me, I will kill you with one sword."
"If you don't tell me, I will slash you with a thousand swords and make you die."
"Besides, I don't believe that you are the only one in the Li family who knows the details. After killing you, I will find another one."
Han Yi's face was calm. When he talked about killing people from the Li family, it was as if he was killing an ant casually. He was calm and indifferent, and he completely disdained life.
Li Wenheng was terrified, but he didn't say anything. He gritted his teeth and glared at Han Yi.
Han Yi looked down at him and saw his loyalty and stubbornness to the family in his eyes.
"I understand."
Han Yi understood, and with a sword, a head rolled out.
The next moment.
Han Yi's consciousness sank into the sea of consciousness, and his soul suddenly stood up, then escaped from his body. Looking at it with the sight of his soul, he saw a gray shadow hovering over the body of Li Wenheng, who had just been beheaded by a sword.
This is Li Wenheng's soul. If nothing unexpected happens, this soul will escape into reincarnation with the pull of the power of death.
However, Han Yi's soul just rolled up and pulled the black shadow into the sea of consciousness.
Han Yi's soul felt tired. The risk of the soul leaving the body is very high. Unless the cultivators below the Nascent Soul have practiced the art of soul division, they will be seriously injured after leaving the body and returning to the sea of consciousness.
Even though Han Yi's soul is comparable to the late foundation-building cultivator, he also felt tired.
However, he didn't have time to recover, so he chopped the black shadow that was pulled into the sea of consciousness with the condensed soul sword, turned it into the purest soul energy, and swallowed it in one gulp to absorb and digest it.
After an incense stick.
He opened his eyes, and the blood in his eyes surged.
"Wenxiang Sect, Yangdan Farm, Li Family, you are looking for death."
In Li Wenheng's memory fragments, Han Yi did not find Zheng Hai's whereabouts, but there was a clear message.
That is, the Li family cooperated with the Wenxiang Sect to capture monks alive and imprison them to cultivate pills for the Wenxiang Sect.
Especially three years ago, the three Jindan sects in the western and northern parts of Shuzhou fought each other. At that time, the Wenxiang Sect took the opportunity to secretly attack and captured a group of monks from the three sects alive and transported them to Jiashan City.
The three sects were the Xuandan Sect, the Tianhun Sect, and the Xueshen Sect.
The Wenxiang Sect, in the official definition, should actually be called the Wenxiang Cult. It is an evil sect and one of the three major evil sects in the entire cultivation world.
Han Yi combined his calculations of the Yi Yao secret technique with this clear news, and had already vaguely guessed that Zheng Hai was captured in this pill cultivation field.
He had read the files of the three major evil sects in the Yuheng Realm. After the Wenxiang Sect captured the monks, they would use the Wenxiang evil technique to extract the monks' mana, soul, bones, spiritual roots, qualifications and all other fundamentals of cultivation, and turn them into Wenxiang evil pills.
This is also the origin of the name of the Wenxiang Training Alchemy Field.
The Wenxiang evil pill can be taken to directly improve the cultivation and root bone. However, the cultivators who take this evil pill violate the harmony of heaven and are punished by the heavenly way.
As for the cultivators whose soul, mana, root bone and spiritual roots are extracted, they will directly become useless and die.
This is the reason why his eyes are bloodshot.
Han Yi threw down an explosive talisman, and used the Yi Yao technique to disrupt the heavenly plan of killing Li Wenheng, removed the formation, and his figure was as fast as lightning, and he was already heading towards the Li family mansion.
